This mini curved Japanese plane, called a Sori Kanna , is designed for precision work, small woodworking projects, model making, and any operation requiring extremely fine control on small, concave surfaces. Its Blue Steel (Aogami) blade, renowned for its long-lasting edge and exceptional cutting quality, allows for clean and precise work, even on dense woods. With its compact size of 90 mm in total length , it is easily handled with the fingertips, making it an ideal tool for craftspeople, luthiers, makers of decorative objects, or anyone who enjoys meticulous work.
Like all handcrafted Japanese planes, this model is not ready to use: it requires initial sharpening, adjustment of the wooden body, and blade adjustment to achieve optimal performance. As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations may occur, giving each plane its unique character.
